250+ TOP MCQs on Classification of Oscillator-1 and Answers

Analog Circuits Multiple Choice Questions on “Classification of Oscillator-1”.

1. Frequency of oscillation of alternator is ___________
A. 100Hz
B. 50Hz
C. 1KHz
D. 200Hz
Answer: B
Clarification: Alternator frequency depends upon the speed of rotation and the number of pairs of rotor poles. When connected to a power system, alternators are synchronized with the grid frequencies which is either 50/60Hz depending on the geographical location.

2. Oscillation can be classified as damped and sustained on the basis of varying.
A. Input power
B. Frequency
C. Amplitude
D. Noise margin
Answer: C
Clarification: Oscillation can be classified as damped and sustained on the basis of varying amplitude.

3. Damped oscillations are those oscillations which ___________ continuously with time.
A. Increasing
B. Decreasing
C. Increasing or decreasing
D. Neither increasing nor decreasing
Answer: C
Clarification: Damped oscillations are those oscillations which decrease or increases continuously with time.

4. If the oscillation amplitude decreases continuously it is called ___________
A. Overdamped
B. Underdamped
C. Sustained
D. No specific name
Answer: B
Clarification: If the oscillation amplitude decreases continuously it is called underdamped oscillation.

5. If oscillation amplitude increases continuously it is called ___________
A. Overdamped
B. Underdamped
C. Sustained
D. No specific name
Answer: A
Clarification: If oscillation amplitude increases continuously it is called overdamped oscillation.

6. Which of the following is not an example of sinusoidal oscillator?
A. RC phase shift oscillator
B. Weinbridge oscillator
C. Crystal oscillator
D. Blocking oscillator
Answer: D
Clarification: A blocking oscillator is a non-sinusoidal oscillator. It produces a free running signal-square shaped and requires only a resistor, transformer and one amplifying element to work. The transistor is blocked off for most of the duty cycle, producing periodic pulses.

7. Mark-to-space ratio is related with ___________
A. Saw-tooth generator
B. LC oscillator
C. RC oscillator
D. Crystal oscillator
Answer: A
Clarification: MSR or Mark-to-space ratio is related with saw-tooth generator. It is the ratio of width of pulse to time between pulses.

8. The ratio of width of pulse to time between pulses are called ___________
A. PSRR
B. PSR
C. MSR
D. CMRR
Answer: C
Clarification: The ratio of the width of pulse to time between pulses is called MSR (Mark-to-Space ratio). Other abbreviation denotes PSRR (Power Supply Rejection Ratio), PSR (Power Supply Rejection), CMRR (Common Mode Rejection Ratio).

9. The time between one pulse to another is known as ___________
A. MSR
B. PRF
C. Time delay
D. PRT
Answer: D
Clarification: The time between one pulse to another is known as PRT (Power Repetition Time), other abbreviations denote PRF (Power Repetition Frequency), MSR (Mark-to-Space ratio).

10. The inverse of pulse repetition time gives _____________
A. PRF
B. PRT
C. MSR
D. PSR
Answer: A
Clarification: The inverse of pulse repetition time gives the PRF- pulse repetition frequency. MSR means mark to space ratio, PRT means power repetition time, PSR is power supply rejection.
